School Uniform Statement 

The school governors expect every student in Years 7–11 to wear the correct school uniform.

For students in the 6th Form, uniform is not required, but good standards of dress are necessary. 

Sending your child to school in school uniform sets a standard in appearance, of which both parents/carers and the school can be proud. For health reasons, it is important that students are properly dressed for physical activity.  It is helpful if articles of clothing are clearly marked with your child’s name.

We believe that a school uniform is important because it:

• Looks smart
• Wears well
• Contributes to a sense of belonging and community
• Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
• Fosters a feeling of pride
• Is designed with health and safety in mind

Sixth Form dress code:

Please note that hoodies are not permitted in School.

Whilst students are not required to wear school uniform, we have high expectations on dress code and wish to set an example to the rest of the lower school. On one designated day each week, we raise our expectation to an interview standard, which will be on a Monday. We expect all students to reflect a modest and tidy appearance at all times. 

Black or Brown shoes or boots 
Trainers (NOT white) 
Trousers including black jeans 
Shirt/Blouse with collar
Plain t-shirt or with an appropriate logo 
Activewear or matching tracksuit, including black leggings. No hooded tops.
Jumper, cardigan or blazer 
Skirts and Dresses (not short or low cut) 

The following items are not acceptable in the Sixth Form:

 White trainers
 Blue denim Jeans
 Jewellery should be kept to a minimum 
 Nails may be polished but must be no longer than 5mm 
 Hats and caps must be removed when in the school buildings
 High heels are not permitted

Makeup / Nail Varnish
& Nail Extensions
and/or Long Fingernails

• If a student chooses to wear makeup this must be discreet - no bright lipstick, eye makeup, false eyelashes. Nails (be they natural or false/gel) must be kept short (no longer than fingertip length) and natural in colour.
   
• If a student comes to school wearing nail varnish, their Form Tutor or a member of SLT may ask the pupil to remove it with nail polish remover.
   
• If a student comes to school with nail extensions or long nails, permission to take part in P.E, drama or practical lessons may be withheld and students will not be allowed out for break or lunch play. A phone call home to advise that false nails be removed/shortened or natural nails clipped at the earliest opportunity.
   
• For clarity, fingernails should not protrude beyond the ends of the fingers.

Labelling Uniform

Please make sure all uniform, coats, PE equipment, lunch boxes etc, are clearly labelled with your child’s full name.  It is much easier to reunite a lost item of clothing with your child if it is labelled. 

You can purchase pre-printed iron on labels from Mapac.com or buy blank iron-on labels and a laundry-proof pen from supermarkets, stationers etc.
